Here is a summary of our trips on 8/3 PM & 8/4 AM All in all had a couple of nice trips. Had some good action on both trips. Picked up a 25 lber on SAT night that was right at dark, ended making a mess out of my full core that took me half of sun AM trip to get fixed. Once I was able to get the 10 back in the water, it fired with a 10 pound laker. First one of the season! However all in all it was a good weekend! 5 for 7 on SAT evening & 6-8 on sun morning Here is the bait list: PM 8/3/2013 HITS RIGS BAIT 0-0 3 COLOR misc spoons 0-0 4 COLOR misc spoons 1-1 6 COLOR happee meal <----7 # rainbow 1-1 7 COLOR burnt toast <---- 9# king 0-1 10 COLOR v-neck 0-0 PORT DIPSY flasher fly 1-2 STAR DIPSY flasher fly <----6# king 1-1 SWR RIGGER hot lips <---- 8# king 1-1 MONO RIGGER bad toad <---- 25 # king 5-7 TOTAL ------------------------------------------- AM 8/4/2013 HITS RIGS BAIT 0-0 3 COLOR misc spoons 0-0 4 COLOR misc spoons 1-1 6 COLOR grean jean <---- 9# king 0-0 7 COLOR misc spoons 1-1 10 COLOR blue/purp dream weaver <----this was a laker about 10 pounds..first one of the season 0-1 PORT DIPSY flasher fly 1-2 STAR DIPSY flasher fly <---- 16# king 1-1 SWR RIGGER hot lips <---- 12# king 2-2 MONO RIGGER bad toad <---- 20# & 21# King 6-8 TOTAL

Fished AM trips both Sat & Sun this weekend. The average for most people fishing were somewhere between 1 to 3 fish per boat...with a couple people being a little above that # and some people getting skunked. This is from my conversations with other fisherman at the cleaning station. Here is my report from both trips SAT 8/4/12 Ended up being 3 for 5 I wasnt too happy about this number considering we were in the fish then a couple of boat pushed us out of the depth we were in which blew us over the fish. By the time we got back to the depth we wanted, the bite was over. Did pick up a RAINBOW that was 84' down on the rigger.

We could have limited i think, however the wind was picking up and we were already over 7 miles from the harbor and pulled lines at 9 to make it back somewhat early.
